HUENEME NJROTC CADETS HONOR VIET NAM WALL SERVICE MEMBERS

An NJROTC Unit on the East Coast started this patriotic program a few years ago and the Viking Cadets from Hueneme High School got involved last year. The idea is for every cadet to participate doing push-ups from Veteran's Day to Memorial Day and as a Unit perform 58,178 push-ups collectively to honor those U.S. Military Service Members that paid the ultimate sacrifice during that conflict. Last year the Hueneme Cadets did 114,270 push-ups.

This year they decided they wanted to participate again and as a group completed 318,171 push-ups through this past Memorial Day Weekend. In this era of child obesity it is good to know that there are young people getting exercise and have a patriotic outlook.
